Chinese Hackers Have Allegedly Stolen US Military Weapon Designs

DOD Hacked

According to the Washington Post, the Pentagon has recently received a report that states that over 2 dozen US weapon systems plans and specifications have been stolen via digital attacks on defense contractor and subcontractor systems. The list of possibly compromised systems include several key military assets such as the FA-18 fighter, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Black Hawk helicopter and the Patriot Missile. Officially, the Pentagon has downplayed the report, stating that they have no reason to believe the strength or integrity of the military compromised in any way, but Department of Defense officials have said, off record, that there is growing concern that the Pentagon and our government at large are increasingly falling behind in their ability to defend our digital borders from future cyber attacks.

What this means for you:

Regardless of your political leaning, there are few Americans who believe that our government runs a tight ship, and anyone who’s had any dealings with the Federal government knows that for the most part, they are woefully behind in just about every aspect of technology. Poor operational standards and old technology is a recipe for security disaster on a large scale for any business, and the Department of Defense is about as big a business as you can get.

Just like the problem life insurance salespeople face (no one wants to face the fact of dying), many businesses still have not come to grips with the fact that they will have (or already have had) a security breach. Many defense contractors who have lived in the bubble of American military superiority for so long have developed a complacency that is leading to poor decisions and lack of preparation until it is too late. The Chinese military is hungry to tip the scales, and it seems that they have the digital advantage.

Surely your business is more nimble than the Department of Defense. Have you grown complacent and ignored your technology’s security? Wouldn’t you rather do some work ahead of a security breach rather than scrambling to repair the damage?
